Fiftv-Two Years of Suffering.

DIR. Royce, during his former visit here treated
Mr.. j. NJ. GoOdenOugh OF PIttsfOrd. Vt, for a
chronic difficulty of 50 years standing and also for
kidney trouble from which he had suffered for Is
years. Mr.. Goodenough is y years of age, and his
recovery from both complaints is the more remark
able on that account. lie had tried various phi ysi-
clans at home and abroad without relief but in
three weeks after he consulted DIR. Royce he was
relieved of both. He was in office the other
day, looking as hale and hearty many do at fifty
years, and he very pronounced in his endorse
ments of DIR. Royce. Mr.. GOodenOugh is one of
the wealthy men i'll this section and his character
for integrity and veracity Is well known. There
fore, when he says that Or. ROyce's treatment has
cured him, it is believed that such is the case.
And so great is his confidence in this physician
that he has bad invalid daughter and grand
daughter come from New York TO be treated by
him.-Rutland Review, Oct 20, 1895.

Biggest Jump on Record.

Clinging to IL parachute II. S. Bald
win Sunday afternoon leaped from a
balloon over thousand feet up in the
air near San Francisco, thus making,
it is believed, the biggest jump on re-
cord. Baldwin is the man who walked
on tight rope from the Cliff house to
Seal Rocks last summer, and who
claims to have passed across Niagara
Falls on some slim support.
His last feat took place in an en-
closure outside Gate City Park, and
was witnessed by about twelve thOus-
and people. The balloon was Prof.
Van Tassel's Eclipse, and at three
O'Clock Baldwin appeared in heshings
and spangles. He vaulted lightly into
the basket. TO this was attached what
looked like an enormous white canvas
umbrella about ten feet long closed up,
and with IL fixed trapeze in place of Il
handle. At Baldwin's signal the rope
attached to the balloon was payed out
until trif1e over a thousand feet had
| been reeled off the windlass.
Baldwin was then seen to step on
the rim of the basket and, grasping the
trapeze in his hands, gave a shout and
jumped into space. For a second ath-
lete and canvas attached fell with
lightning speed, while great scream
went up from below. Another second
and the parachute opened and the fall
was so visibly arrested that the ma
chine and man halted in mid air like a
great strange bird. Then gravitation
asserted itself and once more Baldwin
began to fall. The rush downward
increased with every foot until the We
locity was frightful, and again people
began to scream.
An instant and Baldwin was crash
ing through branches of small waffle
trees. Thousands rushed to his aid,
but, picking himself up, he threw back
somersaults, ran il fifty yard squirt and
said he would make the drop fifteen
hundred next time.

Col. +. B. Stock bridge, who has just
been elected United States Senator in
Michigan, has one of the finest private
residences i'm the West. He is rather
a hale and hearty man himself, and
doesn't care much for the fashionable
or the luxurious. However, just to
please the home folks, he spent a cool
100000 on the Kalamazoo mansion.
Shortly after the completion of this
splendid edifice he invited one of his
old friends, a Michigan hOrseman, to
inspect the premises. After looking at
all the fine things this friend said:

The G. A. r. Reunion, last week, at
Eustis, Kan, was an eminent success.
Your correspondent wishes to say word
about it and Eustis, the county seat of
Sherman county. During all the reun-
ion there was a large crowd of people
and old soldiers in attendance. Races
and speeches during the day, and dane
ing during the evening of each day, fur
nished splendid entertainment for the
visitors. We observed that at the dance
as good and well dressed ladies attended
as is often seen in any eastern state, and
superior to many. All enjoyed the free
dom of Eustis, and went away well
pleased with her hospitality. One can
not visit Eustis at this time without hear
ing of the county seat question. All
things considered, Eustis stands splen-
did chance, and ought to get the county
seat, because she is located near the cen
ter of the county, and is building court
house to cost 1000 and doing the most
for the county. Sherman Center is dead
and the town lots are being sold on ex-
ecution The homesteaders have no con-
fidence in the town. Good land is but
an addition to Sherman Center, and as
soon as the people learn of its schemes
and plans to run up tax on the people,
they will drop it also. The sentiment of
the people of Sherman county seems to
be to vote Eustis the permanent county
seat, and settle the matter once for all.
Eustis is full of life and business. She
is having First National Brick Bank
built and it will soon be done, after
which other bricks will be built. Park
hurst Bros are doing fine banking bus
mess, which is fully warranted, from
;heir honesty, integrity and long exper-
fence. Ennis s. Walker and Noel Bros.
do most of the drug business, and have
both fine stores. J. Wollen & Son are
doing the biggest business in general
merchandise. There is a flood of people
in their store all the time. We would
like to mention more of the enterprise
of the booming city of Eustis, but space
forbids. The Rock Island goes to Eustis:
We say, vote for Eustis, and you will
have in Sherman county town almost
equal to Colby in few years.
